He then declared holdup then apologized right after to the taxi driver.
"Hold up to boss, ibigay mo sa akin ang pera bossing, sorry boss, pera lang ang akin kung 'di mo gustong mamatay," the robber said.
After committing the crime, the robber immediately got off the taxi.
In an exclusive interview by TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the driver still couldn't continue working because of the incident.
He said, "Natakot talaga ako. Talagang ganun kapag tinutukan ka ng baril. Hindi naman biro-biro 'yung baril na tinututok sa'yo. Kasi mayroon akong mga anak, maliliit pa."
The taxi driver's 1,500 was taken from him. Meanwhile, authorities are still searching for the robber.
In the Philippines, a robber who points a gun at a victim and takes all their money commits robbery with intimidation or violence under the Revised Penal Code.
Specifically, this falls under Article 294, which covers robbery with violence or intimidation of persons. If the robber used a firearm to intimidate but did not fire it, the penalty is reclusion temporal, which ranges from 12 years and 1 day to 20 years in prison.
If the robber fired the gun but did not kill or injure the victim, the penalty may increase. In cases where the victim was injured or killed, the penalty may escalate to reclusion perpetua, or life imprisonment, and in the past, it could have led to the death penalty, though the latter is currently abolished.
Additionally, the court may order the return of the stolen money or the payment of damages to the victim.

In a previous report by KAMI, two suspects were arrested in Liloan, Cebu for offering women to drinking men inside a bar. They were caught in an entrapment operation conducted by the National Bureau of Investigation Region VII. One male suspect and another from the LGBTQ community were arrested for offering 5 women to customers in a bar. In a report by TV 5's 'Frontline Tonight,' the suspects were pretending to be customers in a bar, but they were offering the victims to the drinking customers inside.
In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
